 | | chessgames.com: <Rf2+> Those lazy grandmasters, OK, I fixed it. <Is there any chance you could create a subset of the birthday list that would display chessgames members birthdays? I always find myself wishing other members happy birthday after the actual event because I've missed it.> We don't really maintain a list of "players who are also members." If somebody was sufficiently motivated I suppose they could make such a list using game collections. |

| | chessgames.com: Technical note:
We have switched to Unicode symbols for the chess pieces used in kibitzing, e.g.: ♔♕♖♘♗♙. We are getting away from those tiny graphics. You still invoke the graphics by typing inside { braces } but instead of converting it to graphics, it converts it to Unicode. We also have the symbols for:
"with the idea of / threatening" = Δ
"only move" = ▢
"unclear" = ∞
There are still a few graphic symbols that have not yet been converted to Unicode, e.g.  and  . We're working on those next. This has many advantages, including the ability to scale when you change text size, and it works with copy-and-paste. If anybody is unable to see the Unicode pieces please let us know what kind of platform you are using. |

| | Annie K.: My new work computer, with Win 8.1 and default browser IE 11 (with Western European encoding, I believe), can't see the "only move" symbol. Neither can Safari 3.1 on the same computer, nor my iPhone 3G. Unless it's *supposed* to be a square. ;s
Rest of the characters are fine on all three. |
|

 | | WannaBe: It's a square. |

| | chessgames.com: <Unless it's *supposed* to be a square. ;s > In fact, the "only move" symbol is actually supposed to be a square. That's the one unicode character that works even when it doesn't :-) |

| | Annie K.: Can't possibly go wrong, eh? All is well, then! ;p |
|
Dec-03-14
| | OhioChessFan: I'm on Internet Explorer. The pieces are really ummmmmm......not sharply defined? Something. Horrible compared to previously. The only move square looks a little blobbish on the right side. |

Becoming an editor is entirely voluntary and I've never asked that anybody volunteer, but I can say this much: if you email me to ask to become an editor, I would be inclined to approve you.> >Can't I just apply here and now to your most wise and solicitous suggestion? Why burden the Net with further superfluous material? In time, we can consider terms for a full partnership. |

| | WannaBe: <OCF> Looks a lot clearer/better on iPad with Safari, but yes, with IE (I use 11) it does look a little fuzzy and not sharp. Chrome v39 doesn't look any better, FireFox 34 looks pretty crappy, too. |

I have noticed that the forum for user:DcGentle DcGentle chessforum has been closed and that he has not kibitzed this site since July 28. I take it his health has gone down hill? Hopefully I am wrong. |
|
Dec-04-14
| | chessgames.com: <notyetagm> DcGentle didn't close his forum explicitly; his premium membership lapsed. We have no idea of his situation other than the fact he hasn't been on the site in months. We do wish him the best. |

| | Annie K.: <cg> I wonder if you could improve the clarity of those figurines by forcing them to be displayed at +1 size from the normal font? Or would that formatting just get lost when copy pasting, thereby, to a lesser extent, repeating the "uncopyable" problem with the old icon figurines. |
